EP 67: AI at Work - The Good, The Risk and What It’s Doing to Our Wellbeing

SummaryWhat is AI actually doing to our work and our wellbeing and are we asking the right questions about it?In this episode, I take an honest look at the good, the risk, and the real human impact of AI at work. Because the conversation is rarely as simple as "AI will save us" or "AI will take everything" — and I think we deserve something more nuanced than either of those takes.We explore how AI, when used intentionally, can genuinely reduce cognitive load and create space for more meaningful work. But we also get real about the risks — the roles being displaced, the identity and mental health consequences when work is disrupted, and why the growing trend of AI therapy apps deserves a lot more scrutiny than it's getting.This episode is about learning to hold both truths at once and walking away with a practical framework for deciding when AI adds to your life, and when it's quietly taking something away.Key TopicsThe good, the risk and the real wellbeing impact of AI at workHow AI can reduce cognitive overload and create space for more meaningful workThe collective impact of AI on jobs, identity and mental healthWhy AI therapy apps are a trend worth approaching with serious cautionThree questions to help you decide when AI helps and when it harms
